About the wine
A sweet sip of Viognier
- Packed with flavors like cedar spice, honeysuckle and candied apricot, this is like dessert in a glass.
- Sam says each vine is super low-yielding (and only makes 1-3 bottles!) Combine that with 14 months of French oak aging and you get an ultra-exclusive dessert style Viognier.
- This delectably sweet wine is a bargain from the top-shelf dessert menu, so it won’t last long. Treat yourself to a share of this rare nightcap.
Best before
A delicious wine to drink now with its apricot and marmalade flavours, but it will likely age for a decade or more and become increasingly golden complex and honeyed.
Serving advice
I think very sweet wines are best served super chilled.
Food match
A lovely French woman, Chantel, used to baby-sit our kids and would sometimes make a tarte tatin for the boys. This is a French version of an apple pie with caramelized apple baked in a buttery puff pasty shell. It's a delicious match to this sweet dessert wine. Yummo!

Meet the winemaker - Sam Plunkett
- Sam is one of our Australian All-Stars. He garnered lots of attention as the award-winning winemaker at Plunkett Fowles.
- But Plunkett Fowles hit rough waters and Sam wasn't sure he'd be able to stay in the wine business...until he became Angel funded. Your support put his startup on the map.
- Now Sam is off to the races – with the same dedication to quality winemaking that won so many accolades at Plunkett Fowles – and none of the bother about sales and marketing.
